Setting layer opacity
A layer's opacity determines to what degree it obscures or reveals the layer beneath it. A layer with 1% opacity appears nearly transparent, while one with 100% opacity appears completely opaque.
To specify opacity for a layer or layer set: - Select a layer or layer set in the Layers palette.
Note: You cannot change the opacity of a background layer or a locked layer. - Do one of the following:
- In the Layers palette, enter a value in the Opacity text box or drag the Opacity pop-up slider.
- (Photoshop) Double-click a layer thumbnail, choose Layer > Layer Style > Blending Options, or choose Blending Options from the Layers palette menu. Enter a value in the Opacity text box or drag the Opacity pop-up slider.
Note: To view blending options for a text layer in Photoshop, choose Layer > Layer Style > Blending Options, or choose Blending Options from the Layers palette menu. - (ImageReady) Double-click a layer thumbnail, and enter a value in the Opacity text box or drag the Opacity pop-up slider.
